One quick thing to note …
Crowhill is a location near Plymouth, which is used by a bird-counter for the NH Audubon society. So in a way, we are officially on the map 
What I will be posting here is what we have been seeing lately … both in birds and animals.
Being this blog was just started, I will need to do a recap for the earlier portion of this year. Some things have changed quite a bit from previous years.
Pine Grosbeaks are summering here, they started to come last winter, due to the number of berries available to them from the trees & bushes. The number of Crow fledges are up. I have even seen an increase in Raven fledges. I don’t believe it is because of tourism … which is actually down due to the rain. The Peregrines are nesting are nesting now & have closed down several rock climbing areas (fingers crossed for a good year)!
The number of Bard Owls are down from last year (2 years of very rough winters, I suspect). The number of hummingbirds are also down. We haven’t had to put up the additional 4 feeders. This may also be weather related … too much rain, cool temps & the lack of flower growth. We haven’t seen the Turkeys yet, either. This time last year there were quite a few.
Raccoons and Foxes are doing quite well. And so are the Rodents. Several people I know have seen specific wild cats in the area … which is a blessing, thus the species shall not be named. Moose have been seen feeding in the town green & at the library (Ours, not Plymouth’s). The Black Bears have been really quiet. Plenty of food in the woods .. which is wonderful.
Food Consumption: Suet is up, sunflower seeds are up, hummingbird food down, mixed seed down & thistle is too expensive to purchase.
